[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An extractor is inserted into a flexible bag-shaped container body, and a liquid content such as a liquid beverage or a jelly beverage is filled into the container body, and the container is taken out when drinking. As containers that allow the contents to be easily taken out through a spout, for example, those disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-213399, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-4230, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-133308 are known. ing.

[0003] Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 21399/1995 and Japanese Utility Model Publication 7-
The liquid-filled container disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 4230 is a bag-shaped container body having an upper opening formed of a flexible sheet material, a mouth,
A removal device fixed to an opening of the bag-shaped container body such that the connection portion and the conduit portion are extended into the interior space of the bag-shaped container body. It has a configuration in which an opening is formed in a portion near the opening sealing portion of the container body. In this container, when the take-out device is used as a straw, when the mouth is attached to the mouth and sucked, the opening of the conduit is closed by the inner surface of the flexible bag-shaped container main body, and the lower end of the conduit is closed. More contents are sucked up.
In addition, when the unloading device is used as a spout, when the bag-shaped container body is tilted, the opening of the conduit portion serves as an inlet for the contents, and the contents in the bag-shaped container main body close the opening of the conduit portion. By flowing through to the mouth, all of the contents are removed.

Further, in the liquid container disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-133308, similarly to the above, a bag-shaped container body made of a flexible sheet material and a conduit portion extend into the container body. And a take-out device in which the mounting portion is hermetically fixed to the edge of the container main body. It has a formed configuration. In this container, when the take-out device is used as a straw, when the upper end of the take-out device is sucked in, the air in the container body is sucked through the circulation gap together with the liquid at the initial stage, and then only the liquid is introduced into the conduit. It is sucked up through the part. In addition, when the dispensing tool is used as a spout, if the container body is tilted or inverted so that the dispensing tool faces downward, the liquid in the container body flows out through the circulation gap, and the Everything is quickly and reliably removed.

[0005]

As described above, in any of the conventional filling containers provided with an extracting device, the extracting device (extracting device) has a straw-shaped conduit portion. For this reason, when filling the contents into the bag-shaped container body through the removal tool, particularly when filling viscous contents such as jelly beverages, the amount of the contents flowing through the conduit portion within a unit time is reduced. Because of the limitation, there is a problem that the filling speed of the contents into the container does not increase, and the efficiency of the filling operation is poor. In addition, the liquid container disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-133308 has a complicated structure in which the fitting has a conduit inserted into the fitting and a flow gap is formed between the conduit and the fitting. Therefore, there is a problem that molding processing is difficult and manufacturing cost is increased.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, can increase the filling speed into the container, can improve the efficiency of the filling operation,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a filling container with an extraction tool that has a simple structure of the extraction tool and is easy to mold.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a straw-shaped conduit portion is not provided on the take-out device, and a rigid rod-shaped complementary member is used in place of the conduit portion. It is assumed that it has been established. That is, the invention according to claim 1 provides a container body formed in a bag shape having an opening by a flexible sheet material, an outlet portion having a cylindrical shape and protruding outside the container body, and An ejector that has an insertion portion connected to the outlet portion and formed in the opening portion of the container body, the insertion portion being inserted into the opening portion of the container body, and the insertion portion being liquid-tightly fixed to the container body. And a filling member having a rod shape and having rigidity is extended from the insertion portion to the inside of the container body to constitute the extracting tool.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the filling container according to the second aspect, the outlet portion has a cylindrical shape, and the supplementary member has a part of a peripheral surface of the cylinder corresponding to the outlet portion. It is characterized in that it has a shape cut linearly along the axial direction.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the filling container according to the first or second aspect, the insertion portion and the complementary member are integrally formed after being separately molded. Features.

[0010] In the filling container with the removal tool according to the first aspect of the invention, when the contents in the container body are sucked out by the mouth, the inside of the container body is sucked by using the outlet of the removal tool as a mouth.
Thereby, the contents in the container main body are sucked into the passage of the insertion portion of the removal tool, and are sucked out through the removal port.
In addition, unlike the conventional container of this type, the filling container does not have a straw-shaped conduit portion in the removal tool, but the container main body contains little or no air. Therefore, after the air is sucked together with the contents at the initial stage of the suction, only the contents are sucked out. Therefore, even if the straw-shaped conduit part is not provided in the removal tool, there is almost no problem in sucking out the contents.

When the contents are poured out from the container main body, the container main body is tilted or turned upside down so that the outlet of the extraction tool faces downward, and the outer surface of the container main body is pressed with a finger. Thereby, the contents in the container main body flow into the passage of the insertion portion of the removal tool, are pushed out through the outlet, and are entirely poured out without remaining in the container main body.

Here, since the container body is formed of a flexible sheet material, if the take-out tool is constituted only by the take-out portion and the insertion portion, as described above, the contents in the container body will be described. When an object is sucked out by mouth or poured out of the container body, the container body bends near the end of the insertion part of the unloading tool when the amount of contents in the container body decreases, There is a possibility that the entrance of the passage of the section will be blocked by a part of the sheet material of the container body. However, in this filling container, a rigid-shaped complementary member having a rod shape is extended from the insertion portion to the inside of the container main body, so that even if the amount of the contents in the container main body is reduced, the container main body is reduced. However, there is no fear of bending around the end of the insertion portion of the removal tool, and therefore, the contents can be sucked out or poured out of the container body to the last without any trouble.

Further, in this filling container, since a straw-shaped conduit portion is not provided in the take-out device, when filling the contents into the container body through the take-out device, the contents are injected from the take-out portion of the take-out device. The contents pass through the passage of the insertion portion and flow directly into the container body from the passage. For this reason, even for viscous contents such as jelly drinks,
The amount of the contents to be filled into the container body in a unit time is not so limited, and the filling speed of the contents can be increased.

[0014]
